QUICKmed locations treat non-life-threatening workplace injuries with walk-in availability, so employees aren't sitting in an emergency department for a laceration or a strained back.
What Happens on the Ohio Workers' Compensation Side
Ohio work injuries run through the Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). Under Ohio Administrative Code 4123-6-02, the initial treating provider should submit the First Report of Injury, Occupational Disease or Death (FROI) to the employer's managed care organization (MCO) or to BWC within one working day of the first visit.
Injured workers in Ohio may be treated by a BWC-certified provider. Employers work with an MCO for medical management of the claim.
To keep a claim moving Send the employee in with your company name, the injury date and description, your MCO information, and a supervisor contact.
Post-accident instant drug screening with send-out confirmation and breath alcohol testing are available for workers' compensation claims.
When to Skip Urgent Care and Call 911
Send an employee to the emergency room, or call 911, for severe bleeding, amputation, crush injuries, head injuries with loss of consciousness, chest pain, trouble breathing, seizures, chemical exposure to the eyes, or serious burns.
Employers also have federal reporting duties: OSHA requires reporting a work-related fatality within 8 hours, and a work-related in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye within 24 hours.
